Relationship between p16 expression and prognosis in different anatomic subsites of OSCC.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundp16 has often been found to be overexpressed in patients oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC), but its prognostic value between anatomic subsites is still unclear.
objectiveThe aim of this study was to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic values of p16 in OSCC originating from tongue, gingiva or buccal mucosa.
methodsA total of 147 OSCC patients with tumors arising from the tongue, gingiva or buccal mucosa were enrolled in this study. p16 expression was detected using immunohistochemistry (IHC), and the presence of HPV16 was determined by real-time PCR in p16 positive patients. The correlation of p16 expression with the clinical parameters was evaluated.
resultsOnly one p16 positive patient with a cut off value of 25% and 75% was HPV16 positive. Although overall survival (OS), recurrence free survival (RFS) and metastasis free survival (MFS) had no significant differences between the p16 positive and negative patients, p16 negative patients (cut off value 25%) had more RFS in the buccal mucosa cancer (p= 0.03) than the p16-positive patients.
conclusionsThe prevalence of HPV16 in Chinese OSCC patients was low. p16 overexpression decoupled from HPV infection was not a prognostic marker for OSCC patients except for patients with the buccal mucosa cancer.
